Journals are broken. A lot of people recognize that. Peer review is also broken. A lot of people recognize that. The fact that we don't publish negative results is a tragedy. We're losing so much collective knowledge that way. We learn by failing, but somehow we're ashamed to fail in public in academia. I personally hope that arXiv and things like it keep taking off. And that we end up funding respected people to review articles publicly. And that we end up funding people to try to replicate interesting results, and publish their findings. And that the news media learns to explain to people what p scores are, and what p-hacking is, and what the half-life of knowledge is, and that one new research article with p=0.05 doesn't mean jack squat. Basically the news media shouldn't cover leading research, it's just too noisy and it's difficult to understand the context and relevance of new research.
